If P(E1) = 0.2, P(E2) = 0.4 and P(E3) = 0.6 and E1, E2 and E3 are independent events, then the probability that at least one of these events E1, E2 and E3 occurs is

P(at least one event E1, E2 and E3 occurs)
= P(E1∪E2∪E3) = P(E1) + P(E2) + P(E3) − P(E1∩E2) − P(E2∩E3) − P(E3∩E1) + P(E1∩E2∩E3)
= P(E1) + P(E2) + P(E3) − P(E1)P(E2) − P(E2)P(E3) − P(E3)P(E1) + P(E1)P(E2)P(E3)
= 0.2 + 0.4 + 0.6 − (0.2)(0.4) − (0.4)(0.6) − (0.6)(0.2) + (0.2)(0.4)(0.6)
= 0.808
